    The Cove Mountain Trail, which starts behind the Sugarlands Visitors Center, offers the hiker two perspectives. On one hand there are the wonders of nature we enjoy in the park, with wildlife, varying landscape, and even a small waterfall. On the other hand, you’ll see signs of civilization including private homes, rental chalets and a ski resort. This hike will be out- and-back, so you can pick the length you want to hike. The entire trail is 8.5 miles – a 17-mile round-trip trek for those hearty enough to do it! The official turn-around point, however, will be at a peak of Mt. Harrison at 4.5 miles. Starting behind the Visitors Center, we’ll make our way down a nature trail to Cataract Falls and the official start of the Cove Mountain Trail. From there we’ll start a moderate uphill climb (1,500 ft. over 4 miles) before reaching our turn- around. We’ll look for a wide spot in the trail for lunch (about our only option) before returning the way we came. Total “official” hiking distance is 9 miles, rated Moderate. For carpooling, meet at Kroger, 244 S. Hall Rd., Alcoa (park at the side of the building, near the SE corner) at 7:30am {drive: 74 miles RT @ 7¢/mile = approx. $5.00} or at Sugarlands Visitors Center at 8:30am. The leader will meet at Sugarlands Visitors Center.

    As a young man working for the Knoxville YMCA, Marshall Wilson was the first to suggest an organized effort that would later emerge as the SMHC. Wilson was a charter member of the Club and President in 1937. As a youngster, Wilson often climbed to the summit of Mount Le Conte from the south side following a faint manway up the steeply sloped defile of Bearpen Hollow then along the spine of a narrow ridge extending to the summit of West Point. Early hikers in Bearpen Hollow proceeded from the ridge directly to Cliff Top via the Tag Tree Trail, but we have never been able to find that trail. On the way up, a visit will be made to the remains of the wreckage from the 2016 plane crash on the west side of Bearpen Hollow. Upon reaching LeConte Lodge, a short trip will be made to Cliff Top. Return will be on the Alum Cave Trail. Rated Difficult. Previous off-trail experience required. Register with leaders for details on meetup time and place.

    Leaders: Ken Wise and Cindy McJunkin

    To register, contact the leaders directly. You can find contact information in the December 2024 newsletter writeup for this hike.

    Qualifying Centennial Challenge Hike

    Brushy Mountain is a spectacular knob perched on the north slope of Mount LeConte, and is relatively open heath bald with nice views above the thick and brushy azalea, rhododendron and laurel cover.

After a lunch break at the top, we will return down the same route. Hike 12 miles round-trip with about 3000 feet elevation gain. Rated difficult. Meet at Cracker Barrel I-40 exit 398.
